Objective To explore the correlations of biochemical factors as gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) level with amino acid metabolism level in the blood, levels of intestinal immunoglobulin A (IgA)+complement factor 3 (C3), feeding intolerance and fatiguability in children with hypotonia cerebral palsy. Methods Ninety-six children with hypotonia cerebral palsy,admitted to our hospital from January 2009 to January 2012,were chosen in our study; questionnaire was used to understand the clinical symptoms of the children; the blood ammonia level,hepatic function and IgA+C3 level were obtained from routine blood chemistry testing, and amino acid metabolism was detected by blood tandem mass spectrometry; the correlations of GABA level with amino acid metabolism level in the blood, levels of IgA+C3, feeding intolerance and fatiguability were statistically analyzed. Results In all the 96 children with hypotonia cerebral palsy,63 (65.63％) had low arginine; 52 had both decreased arginine and elevated blood ammonia levels, enjoying negative correlation (r=-0.776,P=0.000); 42 had decreased arginine and reduced levels of IgA+C3 enjoying positive correlation (r=0.351,P=0.000); both decreased arginine level and feeding intolerance were noted in 47 with positive correlation (r=0.372,P=0.000).In these 96 children,30 (31.25％) had carnitine metabolism abnormality,including decreased propionyl carnitine/free carnitine or propionyl carnitine/acetylcarnitine levels in 21 (21.88％),increased hydroxyl palmitoyl carnitine/hydroxyl Palm enoyl carnitine level in 9 (9.37％),and decreased cysteine content in 3 (3.12％). Conclusion Metabolic abnormalities of arginine,carnitine and cysteine are noted in children with hypotonia cerebral palsy; a lot of exercise will consume arginine,carnitine and cysteine,which causes fatigue; children with low blood arginine content might also have increased blood ammonia level,reduced IgA+C3 level,trends of vomiting,susceptibility to infection and feeding difficulties,and therefore,children's mental state,immune function and exercise tolerance ability are affected.

Objective To investigate the effect of glucose metabolism alteration induced by alloxan intraventricular injection on learning and memory abilities of mice, and its role in the development of AD. Methods Mice were randomly divided into high-dose alloxan intraventricular injection group (n=7, 4 mg/kg) and low-dose alloxan intraventricular injection group (n=7, 1.5 mg/kg)and control group (n=7, physiological saline); intraventricular injection of alloxan, the O-GLcNAc transferase inhibitor, was performed in the high-dose and low-dose alloxan intraventricular injection groups to interfere the brain glucose metabolism. Morris water maze was used to detect the learning and memory abilities of mice. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to analyze the alterations of phosphorylation and O-Glycosylation of neurofilament in mice brain induced by alloxan intraventricular injection. Results In the located navigation tests, the swimming time and distance to find the platform in the mice of alloxan administration were significantly increased as compared with those in the control group (P＜ 0.05); in space exploration experiments, compared with those in the control mice, the number of crossing the hidden platform was decreased and the initial angle of entry to water was increased in the mice of alloxan administration (P＜0.05). Western blotting and immunohistochemistry displayed that phosphorylation was obviously increased and the O-Glycosylation was significantly reduced in the cytoskletal neurofilament of the mice with alloxan administration as compared with those in the control group (P＜0.05), which was similar to the alteration of neurofilament's modification in AD brain. Conclusion The inventricular injection of alloxan could impair the learning and memory of mice, which might have a relation with the dysregulation of phosphorylation and O-Glycosylation in neurofilament caused by the impaired glucose metabolism, which is similar to the alteration of phosphorylation and O-Glycosylation in neurofilament in AD brain.

Objective To investigate localized regional recurrence after chemotherapy and chest radiotherapy in limited stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC),and explore the relationship between recurrence location and radiotherapy and chemotherapy and its influencing factors.Methods From 2006 to 2014,pathological LS-SCLC treated in CAMS,125 patients had local recurrence,Kaplan-Meier statistical method was used to analyze the survival rate and PFS of each recurrence site.Log-rank was used to compare the survival rate of each group.Univariate analysis includes Chi-squareand t-test for the factors for the recurrence site.Multivariate analysis using Logistic regression.Results The 1-,2-and 5-year overall survival rates were 92.0％,46.4％ and 14.7％,respectively.The median progression time was 12.96 months,The median survival time after progression was 1 1.5 months,and the 1-,2-,and 5-year overall survival rates were 45.0％,23.0％,and 10.0％,respectively.The recurrence sites include intrapulmonary recurrence (67 patients),regional lymph nodes (21 patients),simultaneous intrapulmonary and regional lymph nodes (28 patients),and contralateral or supraclavicular lymph nodes (9 patients).The median survival time were 23.96 months,24.76 months,23.23 months,and 18.66 months,and the 2-year survival rates were 49％,52％,46％,and1 1％,respectively (P=0.000,0.004,0.008).In 6 patients (4.0％),5 patients were located in the supraclavicular region,and 1 patient (0.8％) in the field.Conclusions For LS-SCLC undergoing IMRT and chemotherapy,the local failure location is mainly located in the pulmonary,and further treatment of the split dose and targets requires further clinical exploration.
